[NYMIKE6]

This would be huge for us if we could land him..... i am a fan of Latham

 

[irishff1014]

I wonder why it took so long for us to offer him?

I have heard grades but TT or GB could probably confirm or deny.

 

[irishff1014]

I have heard grades but TT or GB could probably confirm or deny.

ok thanks i just figured a young man ranked that high from the midwest would already have an offer.

 

[BeauBenken]

I have heard grades but TT or GB could probably confirm or deny.

It's always grades when their from Indiana...

(so it seems).

It's not Warren Central, where we got Sheldon Day. I know it's been hard for ND to get guys from that school.

I don't know anything about North Central, but I'm assuming it took a bit to go through the transcripts.

Regardless, it's still very early in the recruiting process. Not everyone is going to have an offer come March.

North Central is the high school of former Irish WR Derrick Mayes as well as Eric Gordon, Gov Mitch Daniels, Jared the Subway guy, and Scott Jones the inventor of voicemail (who lives 5 minutes from me, house is HUGE).

 

[Me2SouthBend]

He reminds me of Joshua Garnett from last recruiting class. Seems to have very good footwork, blasts off the line and finishes his blocks. Seems as if he would be a great addition.

 

[NDPhilly]

I'm thinking he'd be a OG at ND?

 

[Ndaccountant]

Wow. Been awhile since that guy has popped up in a convo. BTW, you know how he lost all that weight.......

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Wow--I could love this guy on either side of the ball. Yes, please.

 

[rtrn2glory]

i've never seen so much elite talent coming out of the midwest...very impressive this year

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Not sure it was ISD premium.

 

[IrishLax]

[rtrn2glory]

[beryirish]

He will be visiting Wisconsin this Sunday. Pry have a better understanding after junior day since he would have seen both by then.

He already visited them this past Sunday. The Top 2 is after he has visited there.

 

[rtrn2glory]

[NDhoosier]

Still going to Junior Day like NDPhilly mentioned? I like our chances if we get the last word in...

 

[Grahambo]

What a terrific addition he would be. ND or Wisconsin? I like our chances.

 

[OCIrish]

I would like another stud from Indy on the team!
